Children, have you ever met the Boogey Man before?
No, of course you haven't for you're much to good I'm sure.
Don't you be afraid of him if he should visit you
He's a great big coward so I'll tell you what to do
Hush, hush, hush
Here comes the Boogey Man!
Don't let him come to close to you
He'll catch you if he can
Just pretend
That you're a crocodile
And you will find that Boogey Man
Will run away a mile
Say shoo, shoo!
And stick him with a pin
Boogey Man will very nearly jump out of his skin
Say buzz buzz
Just like the wasps that sting
Boogey Man will think you are an elephant with wings
Hush, hush, hush
Here comes the Boogey Man!
Tell him you've got soldiers in your bed
For he will never guess that they are only made of lead
Say hush hush
He'll think that you're asleep
If you make a lovely snore
Away he'll softly creep
Sing this tune
You children, one and all
Boogey Man will run away
He'll think it's Henry Hall
When the shadows of the evening
Creep across the sky
And your mommy comes upstairs
To sing a lullaby
Tell her that the Boogey Man
No longer frightens you
Uncle Henry's very kindly told you what to do
Hush, hush, hush
Here comes the Boogey Man
Don't let him come too close to you
He'll catch you if he can
Just pretend your teddy bear's a dog
Then shout out Fetch him, teddy!
And he'll hop off like a frog
Say meow
Pretend that you're a cat
He'll think you may scratch
And that will make him fall down flat
Just pretend he isn't really there
You will find that Boogey Man will vanish in thin air
Here's one way to catch him without fail
Just keep a little salt on you
And put it on his tail
